Need some advice, my highs have changed :(

Ill try to say this nicely but you’re really pushing me. We aren’t on a pedestal, we struggle on a daily basis with a mental health condition that has far reaching impacts on our lives. We deal with brutal stereotypes, many of which are perpetuated by people who illicitly use and acquire the medications that changed our lives. People literally use the term adhd to describe being a little tired, unmotivated or unfocused; the phrase “ahh I’m so add today” is something I hear a lot. These terms are demeaning and minimize the problems we face. This is not something we take lightly, regulators have already started to crack down on amphetamines. Obviously I don’t know your problems, but if they are as life inhibiting as someone with legitimate adhd, being in a doctors office would be your first priority. I can’t assume the severity of your problems, but I am skeptical that your posting on reddit about them before talking to a doctor.
